OSF Peace Meal is pausing its Friday hot meal deliveries due to the excessive heat in the Midwest.

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Shelly Tolly told Regional Radio they are concerned for their drivers and so Peace Meal will not deliver on its routes nor will there be congregate meals.

According to Tolly, Peace Meal is sending drivers with an extra meal to deliver to clients today so seniors have food for Friday.

During these extremely hot stretches, Peace Meal is encouraging its clients to remain hydrated. Tolly indicates they are sending along flyers with some great information and tips to beat the heat through hydration.
